Janet Shaw already approved of Greg Connor, her best friend’s new fiancé, but she approves even more when he brings them another fascinating mystery. Greg, who is renovating the old movie theater in town, finds a set of film canisters that appear to have been hidden away for decades. After setting up a projector to play the reels, Greg, Janet, and Debbie Albright are shocked—and a bit starstruck—to discover lost footage shot by Hollywood legend, military veteran, and Dennison’s own local boy, Clark Gable! The famous actor came to Dennison in 1944 to film a movie, but when the footage was stolen from his hotel room, everyone believed it was lost forever. 

Now that these priceless, irreplaceable pieces of cinematic history have been recovered,  Janet and Debbie go in search of answers. Who stole the film all those years ago? How did the canisters end up in the theater? And how will this story from the past affect the residents of Dennison today?
